From the Corkscrew to the pits, Laguna Seca is probably the best place to be during Monterey Car Week.

Amongst all the fanciful events of Monterey Car Week, the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca is the most egalitarian by far. From downright cheap ticket prices on Thursday and Friday to open pit access for all spectators, it's about as close as you can get to the rarest, running race cars and their respective drivers.

Better yet, the sonic experience that is these historic races is almost better than seeing the cars up close. And it's more than just unfiltered, unmuffled valvetrain noise, as the whine of straight-cut-gears and the squeal of cold racing brakes are far less common experiences. That said, earplugs are never a bad idea here.

You don't even have to particularly enjoy racing to come hang out here, as the parking lot and pits are full of interesting sheetmetal. Last year, we reported on the culture of pristine pit bikes that permeate the lot, but we mixed it up this year. With in-house shot photographs and some provided imagery from Rolex, here are the coolest things we saw at the 2024 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
